Abstract

CDC's Newborn Screening and Molecular Biology Branch (NSMBB) is developing a National Newborn Screening Data Platform (known as ED3N) that will address analytic and post-analytic challenges and promote sharing of molecular, biochemical, and clinical information amongst state-based newborn screening (NBS) partners. The information shared will help NSMBB and newborn screening partners be better equipped to assess disease risk and will help harmonize approaches for disease detection in newborns. Given the rarity of newborn screening diseases, it is imperative that data be collected and analyzed at a national level in order to glean useful insights and trend analyses. The NSMBB is best-suited to oversee this work given its role in providing technical assistance to NBS programs nationally.

Abstract

The goal of this information collection is to create a timely mechanism which will allow a network of regional, state, and local poison centers, supported by CDC, to obtain critical exposure and health information during a public health emergency. This additional information will improve public health response for the site-specific public health emergency or incident. As questions will be tailored to the nature of the public health emergency/incident—a generic mechanism is being employed for collections within this scope to permit rapid response to urgent public health problems. Data collection instruments and methods must be rapidly created and implemented to direct appropriate public health action. Data collection for investigations conducted under this generic will not exceed 60 days.

Abstract

The NRC Form 542, completed by LLW collectors and processors, contains information needed to satisfy the waste manifesting requirements of the NRC’s 10 CFR part 20 and information on the attribution of the waste. Each waste container shipped from a waste collector or processor may contain waste from several different generators. Tracking the identity of the original waste generator becomes more complicated when the waste forms, dimensions, or packaging are changed by the waste processor. These forms are used to attribute the waste to the original generator for regional waste compact tabulation. The information provided on the NRC Form 542 permits the States and Compacts to know the original generators of LLW, as authorized by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985, so they can ensure that waste is disposed of in the appropriate Compact. NUREG/BR–0204, Rev. 3, contains instructions for completing NRC Forms 540, 540A, 541, 541A, 542, and 542A. The forms were originally developed by the NRC at the request of low-level waste industry groups. The forms are intended to provide uniformity and efficiency in the collection of information contained in manifests which are required to control transfers of LLW intended for disposal at a land disposal facility. However, as stated in 10 CFR part 20, Appendix G, ‘‘Licensees need not use originals of these NRC Forms as long as any substitute forms are equivalent to the original documentation in respect to content, clarity, size, and location of information . . .’’ The NRC previously noticed the availability of revisions to the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Forms in the Federal Register on June 25, 2021 (86 FR 33783). The information collection contained in the current extension request does not include any material changes to the forms, except for: (1) changes to the Paperwork Reduction Act statement to indicate that licensees may use equivalent forms, and (2) the deletion of the expiration date.

Abstract

The accident tolerant fuel (ATF) program is a joint effort between the U.S. nuclear industry and the U.S. Department of Energy to design and pursue approval of various fuel types with enhanced accident tolerance. The ATF program includes development of technologies that would extend fuel burnup and enrichment limits beyond currently authorized levels. In order to deploy these new technologies, the industry will need to seek authorization for various activities throughout the fuel cycle, from fuel fabrication, transportation, and storage to installation and utilization in a reactor. In order to support the timely processing of licensing activities needed to support the deployment of these new technologies, the NRC is seeking scheduling information for licensing submittals from all respondents. This information will allow the NRC to better allocate its resources to support the activities associated with licensing these technologies while being better able to meet the industry’s desired timeline.

Abstract

The purpose of this submission is to request OMB authorization for a new information collection, “School-Based Active Surveillance (SBAS) of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Among Schoolchildren: Phase-2 of the National Roll-Out.” We are requesting three years to complete the information/data collection. This request is to expand the previous phase (Phase-1) that was under OMB Control No. 0920-1154. The new request is for Phase-2 of the project to field test and refine data collection tools and methods for determining the frequency of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) among other currently monitored chronic health conditions associated with school absenteeism and school withdrawal among US schoolchildren (grades kindergarten through twelve, K-12). Collection of information on better-known conditions that school nurses have already been tracking, in addition to ME/CFS, will allow assessment of the quality of this surveillance approach.

Abstract

The Department of Treasury (Treasury), Office of Debt Management (ODM) conducts the Primary Dealer Meeting Agenda (Agenda), which is a quarterly survey sent to all primary dealers, of which there are currently 23 financial institutions. Primary dealers are trading counter parties of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) in its implementation of monetary policy. Primary dealers are also expected to have a substantial presence as a market maker for Treasury securities and bid on a pro-rata basis in all Treasury auctions. The information in the Agenda is a critical factor to inform ODM’s decision to set the securities’ issuance sizes for the upcoming quarter. In effect, the information provides a market view of borrowing needs for the U.S. government. In addition, aggregate statistics are made public through Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding materials.
